Geometry - Coordinate Frame:

Coordinate frames are used to have different frames of reference for different groups of geometry. For example, if you had one part that was a different orientation than the rest of the model or the coordinates were given separate from the rest of the model and you did not want to have to worry about figuring how much to offset each value while specifying the dimensions. You have the ability to specify the origin and the direction relative to the global direction.

Create / Modify: make sure you have the correct radiobutton checked depending on whether you want to modify or create a coordinate frame. Modifying the coordinate frame of existing blocks will modify the blocks dimensions Name: May not contain spaces or , . ( ) [ ]
Origin: This sets the amount to offset each object defined with this coordinate frame from the global origin of the model.
Direction Relative to Global: Specify which direction corresponds to the global X+ direction and Y+ direction. the Z direction will be determined by the right hand rule.
